- Managing scripts
  The script library provides numerous scripts for you to use and modify.
  - Creating job-precondition scripts
    Job-precondition scripts are used to determine whether a job can run.
  - Creating post-processing scripts
    Post-processing scripts are used in job steps to determine the success or failure of a step. Success is determined by the exit code and log of the step.
  - Creating step-precondition scripts
    Step-precondition scripts define the conditions that must be fulfilled before a step can run.
  - Creating working directory scripts
    Project source configurations use working directory scripts to determine where checked-out source files are placed.
- User notifications
  IBM® DevOps Build (Build) can send information about build results to selected users by email, instant messaging, and other methods.
